Phillips Loses To Trips

Carter Phillips raised preflop and was three-bet by the player to his immediate left, Martin Klaeser. Phillips just flat-called when action got back to him and the two were off to a flop of {K-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Philiips checked the flop and Klaeser fired 925. Phillips made the call, bringing the players to the {10-Hearts} on the turn. Phillips opted to pass the action to Klaeser once again, who bet out 1,825. Phillips called.

The river completed the board with the {9-Diamonds} and Phillips checked. Klaeser paused for a bit before firing out 4,125. Phillips announced an immediate call. Klaeser tabled the {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, having flopped trip eights, and Phillips tossed his hand into the muck. That loss set Phillips back to 30,300 after he added on right away to begin with 40,000.
